Striking Cambodian Workers Enter Nike Factory 
----------------------------------------------


 
A massive workers' strike continues at a Cambodian factory that makes
clothing for the sportswear giant Nike. Around 4,000 striking workers
entered the factory today and briefly clashed with colleagues who have
remained on the job. Strikers have been picketing for over a week for a
pay increase of $14 dollars a month. Nike has formally responded by
saying the factory is responsible for setting the workers' pay.
